Examples

Intercompany Transactions

Workflows are automated and reconciled resulting in intercompany transactions between multiple related SAP company databases. A reselling company can purchase from a sister manufacturer simply by creating a purchase order. When the manufacturer ships the auto-generated sales order to the end customer, all transactions are automatically generated keeping master data in sync and tracking the serial and batch details.

E-Commerce Integration

Workflows are created to synchronize SAP and the Magento E-commerce site. Web-saleable items added or updated in SAP are automatically added or updated on Magento via Web Services with up-to-date stock status, SEO data, product data and technical specs.

Streamlined Logistics 

A workflow automates all warehousing communications with a third-party logistics provider (3PL) requiring no user data entry. Open purchase orders and picking instructions are sent to the 3PL and inventory movements, including shipments, receipts, and cycle counts are sent back, resulting in auto-generated SAP transactions.
